Terms & Conditions

Welcome to the Ideal World website. These terms and conditions (which include other important hyper-linked sections such as Delivery Information, Returns FAQs and Privacy Statement) apply to your use of this website at www.idealworld.tv. By accessing this website and/or placing an order, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.

1. General

We may revise these terms and conditions at any time. Any such changes will take effect when posted on the website and it is your responsibility to read the terms and conditions on each occasion you use this website and your continued use of the website shall signify your acceptance to be bound by the latest terms and conditions.

You will be able to access most areas of this website without registering your details with us. Certain areas of this website are only open to you if you register.

2. Ordering from us

You are deemed to place an order with us by ordering via our online checkout process. As part of our checkout process you will be given the opportunity to check your order and to correct any errors. We will send you an order acknowledgement via email, detailing the products you have ordered. Please note that this email is not an order confirmation or order acceptance from us.

Your order is an offer to us to purchase the product specified in the order. Our acceptance of an order takes place when we accept payment or dispatch the product, whichever is the sooner. When we dispatch the product the purchase contract will be made even if your payment has not been processed immediately, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order or you have cancelled your order. To view the order status, please go to your Customer Account section. Here you will be able to view whether or not your product has been dispatched.

We may refuse to accept an order:

where we cannot obtain authorisation for your payment; or

if there has been a pricing or product description error; or

if you do not meet any eligibility criteria set out in our terms and conditions.

Order acceptance is subject to internal anti-fraud security checks which may result in the cancellation and refund of customer orders.

It is our responsibility to supply you with goods that meet your consumer rights.

3. Delivery

For full details on delivery charges and estimated timescales, please visit our Postage & Packaging page. Information on these items will also be provided when you place your order with us.

We make every effort to deliver products within the estimated timescales, however delays are occasionally inevitable due to unforeseen factors.

Risk of loss and damage to goods passes to you on the date when the goods are delivered.

4. Payment

You can pay for your purchases online using PayPal, most major credit or debit cards, including Mastercard, Visa Credit Card, Visa Debit Card, Visa Electron, Solo, Maestro and American Express. We do not accept Corporate Link cards at present.

On certain products we offer Flexi-pay, which allows you to spread the cost of the product (excluding postage and packaging) across 2, 3 or 4 monthly instalments, interest free. Flexi-pay instalments must be paid with a credit or debit card. At this time PayPal and Maestro Debit cards/pre-paid Cards are not supported for payment by Flexi-pay. For more information about Flexi-pay click on this link.

To ensure that your credit or debit card or PayPal account is not being used without your consent, we will validate the name, address and other personal information supplied by you during the order process against appropriate third party databases. By accepting these terms and conditions you consent to such checks being made. We confirm that any personal information that you provide to us is held strictly in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.

We will take reasonable care to keep your order and payment details secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer if a third party procures unauthorised access to any data you provide when accessing or ordering from this website.

5. Pricing

The price you pay is the price displayed on this website at the time we receive your order, apart from if we discover an error in the price of products you have ordered, we will inform you as soon as possible and give you the option of confirming your order at the correct price, or cancelling it. If you cancel and you have already paid for the products, you will receive a full refund. If we are unable to contact you we will treat the order as cancelled. While we try and ensure prices are accurate, our website contains a large number of products and it is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the products on our website may be incorrectly priced.

Where we charge separately for packing, carriage and insurance and other relevant charges, the appropriate rates are set out in our specified pricing structure found within our Delivery section.

All product prices are shown in £sterling and are inclusive of VAT (Value Added Tax) at the current applicable rate, unless specified otherwise.

Orders from outside the UK or EU may be subject to import duties and taxes. All applicable duties, fees and any additional charges for customs clearance levied by the importing country at the time the shipment arrives in your country are your sole responsibility.

6. Cancellation and Returns policy
